Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - These proceedings contain the papers presented at the 5th Annual Genetic and EvolutionaryComputationConference(GECCO2003).Theconferencewasheld in Chicago, USA, July 12 16, 2003.

Since 1999, these conferences have m- ged to produce a single large meeting that welcomes an increasingly wide array of topics related to genetic and evolutionary computation.

This will make the proceedings available in many libraries as well asonline,wideningthedisseminationoftheresearchpresentedattheconference.

In addition to the presentation of the papers contained in these proceedings, the conference included 13 workshops, 32 tutorials by leading specialists, and presentation of late-breaking papers.
